I'd like to see a more complete comparison of options, and little more 
info on expected usage based on previous numbers, and future anticipated 
expansion.

Noting things like Campyn has a 15% non-profit discount and a 
pay-as-you-go option.

LAMP stack is pretty straightforward, we do not at this time have an AWS 
account. Not saying it's out of the question but it's more complexity 
than one might think to maintain access/persmissions, billing tags, 
etc... Might even opt to use a pre-built AWS lightsail LAMP to even skip 
on most of the setup work.

Per usual if someone not currently on SAC is interested in becoming the 
admin that would add weight to any self hosted options.

Thanks,
Alex
